1/2 cup cashews
1 garlic clove
juice of half a lemon
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp mustard
black pepper, to taste
pinch of salt
80g spaghetti pasta

Once cooked, drain the pasta whilst saving 1 cup of pasta water for the sauce. Leave the pasta in the saucepan
To make the sauce, place all the ingredients required with 1/2 cup of the pasta water you saved in a blender and blend till completely smooth. If it's too thick and you want it thinner, add more pasta water gradually
Combine the sauce together with the pasta in the pan adding in the peas with a little more salt and black pepper if desired
Serve in a bowl and enjoy! TIP: You can soak the cashews prior to give the sauce a creamier, smoother texture.
